“Today we moved the ball forward on cutting federal spending, encouraging job creation, and funding our troops. While it’s not perfect, we were able to further our goals of restoring fiscal responsibility and repealing the President’s controversial health care law. We can now move on to Chairman Paul Ryan’s budget proposal, where we will be working to cut trillions instead of just billions,” Walberg wrote in a statement. “This is just the beginning.”

First, the CBO came out this morning and basically said that there are precious few real cuts -- $352 million, not $38 billion (today's WaPost).

On his Twitter account this afternoon, Walberg, in response to the criticism created from the release of a CBO report about the amount of actual cuts in this budget, posted a link to a story in National Review.

Walberg had voted for the one-week extension last Friday, but said earlier this week that he would study what was in the final wording of the bill before he decided how to vote.

Both liberals and conservatives took issue with portions of the bill, for either not cutting enough or cutting from the wrong places.
